'AIBU to not want David Cameron to be one of the first people I see when I get out?'


PMSL

I once had 'what a rude cow' shouted down a road at em for not sdhaking a Tory MP's hand (I ahd reason; severe eczma on my hands but wasn't given a chance to explain before he huffed off)

Can you imagien DC if you did the same thing?

But maybe the coal dust would make him less..... shiny.

(Would any Tory MP go to a mine EVER? I mean.....)
